He's terrible. I wouldn't let him anywhere near the first team again.

Where was everyone playing?
The whole team was playing all over the place.

This is exactly what all Giants fans told you and we were accused of sour grapes, remember we was told Brown had over achieved with a poor Giants side and would take Saints to the next level, think most thought it would be a level up not down!!!
Injuries seem to follow this fella around and as for his team selections, that's a whole topic on its own!
I stand by my comment that was glad to see the back of the man and he hasn't even started the moving back to Oz when a job comes up business yet, way he is going he would struggle to get a job in the Pennine League
Oh aiiii sorry to say this but I am really enjoying seeing the man fail.

| Quote ="Judder Man"Shocking attitude by the players.'"
Glad someone else mentioned it. The senior players just don't want to know. There is no enthusiasm at all, no pride, no commitment. There have been so many examples of it recently and a few tonight. The one that stood out for me particularly was how with less than 3 minutes to go in the first half and Saints down by 10 (ish?) and Widnes knocked on on their own 20. You would expect the team to charge to the scrum to stop the clock, desperate to get back into it. Instead Widnes formed the scrum before we did. They then ran in another try and we stood under the sticks silent, not one player even attempting to rally the troops.
We need a captain as much as we need a half back and a pack.

The problem with that is there is only 1 man to blame for that. Could we do the unthinkable and sack another coach?

There's no leader at all in our team. There hasn't been one since Graham left.

| Beyond the attitude problem there clearly is at the club, there are some tough decisions that have to be made. The likes of Perry, Laffranchi, Howarth, Hohaia and Wellens HAVE to go. Any extensions amongst those names and serious questions have to be asked.
LMS needs a rocket. He's a decent player but never in a million years a starting prop. Go back to using him from the bench for impact and tell him his future is on the line.
Nathan Ashe's performance tonight was one of the worst individual performances I have ever seen. He simply cannot player another game for Saints. After that, for me, he doesn't get another chance.
Nathan Brown doesn't come out of this without criticism either. I'm not sure about him at all. Like Potter his desire to coach the club and for the club to be successful has to be questioned. He seems to be going through the motions as much as everyone else at the club. Why was Lance Hohaia on the bench tonight? We had 3 centres on the field (Turner, Jones and Percival) and virtually every point Widnes scored came down our left centre channel, where it looked like Greenwood was playing left centre.
The team's defending has to be questioned as well. Widnes scored on almost every visit to our 20. The try they scored under the sticks was farcical, the Widnes player couldn't believe his luck.

| Quote ="The Chair Maker"Ashe was awful, could not believe how poor his passing was. It just looked like he didnt want the ball and was merely chucking it away.
Think the writing is on the wall for Lance considering Brown preferred Howarth to him.
I get the impression that the Saints players and club have written this season off and are merely using it to blood a few kids and wind down the playing days of the old guard.'"
Until they all sign 1 year extensions at the end of the season?
The club is broken from the top all the way down to us fans at the bottom. The terror of what might happen over the next 2 games wont help.
Put a fork in us!

Yes it was. Greenwood at centre, Jones at stand off and Hohaia on the subs.

I don,t think we really know who was playing in the centres and halves, the only thing we were sure of was that Makinson was full back.
In a normal saints side, Ashe would have been taken off his contribution was near enough zero.
We would have been better playing our U/19 team same result but at least we would have seen a rugby team in a saints shirt.

That was what they announced over the tannoy, but they didn't line up like that. Jones played right centre, Greenwood left centre, with Jordan Turner at stand off. He stunk the place out, but looked great in comparison with Nathan Ashe, who was truly pathetic.

Turner lined up in the centre, scrumhalf, stand off and also packed down in the backrow.

I'm guessing someone got injured in the warm up? Possibly Sia?

Sia was out before the game.
The team he picked first and told the players was
Makinson
Ade
Turner
Jones
Percival
Wello
Ashe
Perry
Hohaia
TP
Laffranchi
Greenwood
Thompson
Hohaia
Walmsley
Lms
Clough or Howarth
